Day five of the US Open is already upon us and there has been no shortage of drama in New York thus far. Carlos Alcaraz was brutally dumped out by Botic van de Zandschlup overnight in one of the biggest shocks in Grand Slam history.
The young Spaniard was among the favourites to win the title but was beaten in straight sets by his unfancied Dutch opponent. Van de Zandschlup produced the best display of his career to secure a 6-1 7-5 6-4 triumph and set up a meeting with British hopeful Jack Draper.
Novak Djokovic, meanwhile, is safely through to round three after Laslo Djere withdrew from their second-round match in the final set. He was forced to retire with an injury, allowing Djokovic to progress despite blasting his own ‘awful’ serve in his post-match interview.
